CONVENTIONS USED IN MANUALS
Conventions used in Mitutoyo's User's Manual are roughly divided into three types (safety reminders,
prohibited and mandatory actions, and referential information and locations). Moreover, these safety
symbols include general warnings and specic warnings. Specic warning symbols are provided with
concrete pictograms inside of them.
